The Rule of Faith: A Guide is a helpful little book that successfully examines an often overlooked reality within early Christianity.

A somewhat different doctrine appeared in the Westminster Confession of Faith (), which declared that the “Books of the Old and New Testaments are given by inspiration of God, to be the rule of faith and life” (art.
ii), but that the “authority of the Holy Scripture dependeth not upon the testimony of any man or church” (art Author: Catholic Answers.
The Lutheran Confessions consistently read Scripture as God's Word, carrying with it God's authority, God's power, God's truthfulness.
In other words, the inerrancy, or truthfulness, of Scripture is a definite result of its divine origin. And so our Lutheran Confessions speak of Scripture as "the eternal truth" (FC SD, Rule and Norm, 13).
